It has been an honor to partner with Adobe to be an ambassador for the Adobe Creative Cloud for the past couple of years. The ambassador program is called Adobe Insiders and is comprised of a handful of artists and creatives from around the globe. For this partnership, I have been tasked to create content in Adobe Illustrator that will be shared through mine and Adobe’s social media channels. I have also been traveling to events and conferences around the country, meeting fellow Adobe Insiders and interacting with the fine folks at Adobe.
The work I created for the campaign comprises of content that arises through community engagement and “celebrating the good.” I have also been tasked with developing tutorials and working on various challenges and creative prompts that promote new product features or enhancements.

I had the honor of working closely with the design team at Clif Bar to help create some new illustrations for various products, including an update to their organic Nut Butter Filled energy bar. The Nut Butter Filled bar illustration pays homage to Clif Bar owner and founder, Gary Erickson. An avid biker and outdoorsman, Gary has ridden Italy’s Passo di Gavia in the Italian Alps more than 20 times over the past 31 years. Keep your eyes peeled on shelves near you!

Part of our mission was to champion our local communities and embrace the good around us. I had the opportunity to collaborate with a local organization here in Omaha, NE, called The Big Garden. They are a non-profit whose goal is "growing healthy food, healthy kids, and healthy communities." Together we combined forces to create a mural that they could hang on their property that reflected their mission and showcased what they are all about. Overall the process was really fun and collaborative. After pitching the initial concept sketch to The Big Garden I created the artwork in Adobe Illustrator. We made a few tweaks to get the artwork finalized and then from there we went around and gathered up all of the materials we would need and began to prepare the board we would be painting on. After we got the image sketched onto the board we began painting! The painting took about three days to create and wouldn't have been possible without the help from all of the wonderful employees and volunteers that helped bring this to life.
I had the honor of working closely with the design team at Clif Bar to help create some new illustrations for various products, including the all-new Energy Granola. The Energy Granola illustration was inspired by the granola that Clif Bar founder Gary Erickson would make for the hiking trips he guided in the High Sierra mountains. We created an epic landscape illustration inspired by this spectacular region which is known for its natural beauty. We highlighted specific geographical features such as granite outcroppings, meandering streams, foggy valleys, and snow capped mountain peaks. And of course we included a group of hikers and their furry companion. I am a bit biased, but this granola is super delicious. Keep your eyes peeled for these on shelves near you!
